George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

Yep It’s Snowing

Some wanted proof we had snow today. This is the best I could do.

Our Backyard Port Loring Ontario

Here are a few pictures that I thought looked nice, with the snow showing off on the branches of trees and a wood pile out by our house.

What’s Happening on February 10/2022

It’s a cloudy, snowy morning here, waking up in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We could see a couple inches or so throughout the day. We didn’t have any more snow through the night. Highway 522 is partially snow covered throughout, and I suspect it will get worse as the day moves forward with the way it is snowing now. The good news is it isn’t that cold, with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at -3.2 C | 26.24 F.

On another note, yesterday I finished up another podcast and today will start on another. I am finally getting used to this new Microphone set up. It took some time for me to get used to it, but the more I use it, the more I like it. With that, I am off to put some more wood in the furnace. After that, I will have some waffles that my lovely wife is making for me. Should be tasty. Take care and have a great day. GW

What’s Happening On February 9/2022

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. We didn’t have any more snow yesterday or overnight. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -6.4 C | 20.48 F. Not too bad, and it will warm up even more as the day progresses. It should get up above the freezing mark, which should melt a bit more of our snow. Highway 522 is mostly bare and wet. But there are some snow and ice covered sections here and there. I have also seen a lot of snowmobiles moving around these days. Which shows us that a few are out there enjoying life as it should be. Nice to see.

On another note, I didn’t do all that much yesterday, kind of took it a bit easy. I did work on a podcast that I have in mind, and if I feel up to it, I will finish it today. Other than that, not much else happening in and around our area. With that, I am off for a bagel this morning with my lovely wife, and will then see what develops. You never know what a day will bring. Take care and stay safe.
